Monster Dash is Run-and-Gun Action for the iPhone and iPad

If you're a fan of run-and-gun, side-scrolling action games, Monster Dash for iPhone and iPad is a cheap must-download that will provide hours of entertainment. The game is only $0.99 in the iTunes App Store, and comes as a universal app, which means you buy it once and you can play it on both the iPhone and the iPad - in modes that are optimized for both types of displays.

The game puts you in the shoes of Barry Steakfries, who travels to exotic, far-away places to cut down demons, vampires, mummies, and other ghouls and goblins with his trusty sidearm. The game has dozens of power-ups, extra weapons, and other goodies to pick up while you're tearing through bad guys to keep things interesting.

If you've been looking for some classic, arcade-style run-and-gun action for your iOS device, Monster Dash is pretty close. The game is cartoonish and fun, and will have you running across otherworldly landscapes and far-off locales within minutes, jumping over obstacles and shooting zombies and other bad guys who get in your way.

The game was built by Halfbrick Studios, the same people behind Fruit Ninja, and plays like a well designed iOS game. The goal of the game is to run as far as you can from portal to portal while blowing up anything in your path. Just steer clear of obstacles and don't run into enemies, and you'll be fine. Each new place Barry travels to is more challenging, so expect more bad guys, more obstacles, and more pits to fall into with each new level.

Thankfully, new levels also bring more powerful weapons, like the long-range "Mr. Zappy" electric gun that shoots lightning bolts out in front of you, and the Machine Gun Jetpack which allows you to fly over enemies while raining down bullets on their heads. For $0.99, you probably won't find many other iOS games that offer this much fun, especially if you enjoy these kinds of arcade titles.
